SSL3401 is a compact and cost-effective GreenChip solution compatible with a wide range of dimmer and transformer.
Guangzhou, China, June 9, 2013 - NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ N.V.) (NASDAQ Code: NXPI) today released SSL3401, a tunable single level controller IC, used to improve the MR16 LED lamp that uses 12V to exchange electricity. SSL3401 is compatible with a wide range of dimmer and transformers - for more than 80% of the most common combinations - with a compact shape size suitable for most common MR16 GU5.3 and AR111 shells and sockets. SSL3401 supports up to 105oC ambient temperature and provides temperature drop protection. SSL3401, based on the GreenChip? Technology, generates a stable, accurate current, and has the dimming capacity of less than 5% of light output in the most common practice. Although the maximum lamp power depends on the design of the thermal performance of the lamp, the typical 7W MR16 LED lamp using SSL3401 can still obtain less than 15% total harmonic distortion (THD), more than 0.9 power factors, up to 78% efficiency and less than 10% of the LED ripple current.
Ryan Zahn, general manager of NTP's semiconductor lighting solutions, said: "all the world's energy - conscious consumers and businesses want to replace the halogen lamps with LED, but it's not always as smooth as people expect if they turn to MR16 LED. In SSL3401, we specially designed a compact single stage controller IC for the adjustable light MR16 LED lamp, and carried out a large number of tests to make it compatible with a wide range of dimmer and transformer. By helping improve light manufacturers to reduce costs, we also want to simplify the transformation of halogen lights to LED lights in a wider range, especially when 12V MR16 lights are widely chosen for commercial and residential lighting. "
NXP will show SSL3401 products this week at the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition. You will be invited to visit the pavilion at D37, No. 13.2 exhibition hall. The sample is currently on sale and will begin mass production in July 2013.
